General Information

From modest beginnings in 1876 as Texas' first public institution of higher education, to a bustling 5,200-acre campus using a nationally recognized college, Texas A&M University is among a select few universities with land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant designations. With an enrollment of approximately half men and half women, 25 percent of their freshman class would be the first in their family to attend college. Here, over 60,000 pupils have access to world class study programs and award winning college. Texas A&M has two branch campuses, one in Galveston, Texas, and one in the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar.
